BUFF & HEAL SUPPORT Build

Weapons

Peak Patrol Song

DEF%

DEF% substat directly boosts the Sampler shred, and Normal/Plunge hits stack DEF before handing nearby allies a flat DMG bonus. Strongest option for this slot.

Freedom-Sworn

Elemental Mastery

Triggering a reaction grants the party 20% DMG Bonus and 20% ATK for 12s — trivial to keep up in Vaporize, Melt or Electro-Charged shells.

Favonius Sword

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge plus white particles on CRIT hits refill the whole team's energy, so the healing Burst is cast every rotation even off-field.

Flute of Ezpitzal

DEF%

Craftable DEF% sword; using Skill raises DEF further, reinforcing Sampler damage and the Burst heal when no 5-star is available.

Skyrider Sword

Energy Recharge

Budget Energy Recharge stat stick. Its ATK buff after Burst contributes almost nothing here — use only to patch early energy problems.

Artifacts

Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City

Converted Samplers deal PHEC damage, so triggering a reaction of that element gives the team 12% Elemental DMG Bonus, rising to 40% inside Nightsoul's Blessing. Also refunds Energy on Nightsoul Bursts.

Archaic Petra

Picking up a Crystallize shard grants 35% DMG Bonus to the matching element, which pairs well with a PHEC carry — but someone must physically walk over the shard.

Noblesse Oblige

4pc hands the party 20% ATK for 12s after Burst. The heal already forces that cast, so the buff costs no extra field time.

Instructor

Cheap 4-star option giving the team 120 Elemental Mastery after a reaction — decent stopgap for Vaporize or Hyperbloom teams before farming better sets.

Xilonen's Burst: heals the active character over time if 2+ Samplers had their element converted; otherwise it adds extra Geo DMG.
Samplers shred resistance only with 2+ PHEC (Pyro/Hydro/Electro/Cryo) teammates. Tap Skill, then Normal Attack until Nightsoul Points fill (2–3 hits).
At C2, Geo Samplers stay active, so she fits teams already running 2+ Geo.

Xilonen Support
Core role: shred enemy Elemental RES with her Skill's Samplers. Pair with Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4) to boost many teams.

Weapons
Below Favonius Sword, options barely affect support performance.
Peak Patrol Song: buff caps at 3,200 DEF.
Freedom-Sworn: competitive with Peak Patrol Song if the team uses both buffs. Proc it consistently by bursting every rotation, or delay between the initial Skill hit and Normal Attack. No need to level it for her.
Flute of Ezpitzal: refinements are insignificant.

Artifacts
If no ally holds it, Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4) is top priority. Other options only if Scroll is occupied. If healing isn't needed and you don't use Peak Patrol Song, artifact stats don't matter.

Talents
If healing isn't needed, ignore her Burst.
